Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes

This is a community for discussion, news, and memes pertaining to the video game sub-genre "soulslike".

Given Lemmy's size, the definition of soulslike may be treated relatively loosely. While games like the numerous FromSoft titles, the recent Star Wars Jedi games, Lies of P, Nioh and similar games should be the focus, games that incorporate soulslike elements - like Hollow Knight and Blasphemous, for example - may also be discussed here.

Basic Lemmy-quette applies. Additionally, since flairs don't exist yet, please do make sure to include a marker to denote what game your post is about in square brackets for clarity's sake. An example could be:

[BB] This enemy is so difficult!

or

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?

Anything new you're picking up? A playthrough you're finishing up? Playing the new Nightreign DLC? Let us know!

Bloodborne was the first one I played, and I think what helped me the most was to just play and get used to the game in addition to treating loss of blood echoes as unimportant. Sure, especially in the early game, echoes are precious because healing is limited and farming blood vials is annoying. But once I no longer feared losing my echoes and actually got to engage with the game and its mechanics, I had a lot more fun with the game and its exploration. I didn't stress as much either.

What about you?

Nightreign finally.... (Weeee) did a couple of solo runs yesterday to get a feel of it, hopped online and after 2 or 3 attempts got a pretty solid team going and steamrolled the first boss. It's super fast paced so still adjusting to the rythm and characters. But looking forward to more!

As for a tip.. Similar to eezeebee's comment. Learning not to rush, being patient/ obsrvant pays off. getting to know what "rules" the world and the enemies are laying out for you will make your life easier in the long run.
